The
keyboard features an automatic backlight adjustment that will turn on
or off depending on how close a user is to the keyboard. There also
is a three-port USB hub built directly into the keyboard. The
Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 also has a Windows Start Button
that will offer one-click access to the features of the Windows Start
Menu.

The
company also released the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000, a
model that does not have as many features as the 8000. More information on both models is available on Microsoft's peripheral website.

Because
the needs and demands of PC users are continuing to evolve over time,
hardware design teams have to push the envelope. Dan O'Neil,
industrial designer with Microsoft Hardware said: “The Hardware
team took both visual and interaction cues from Windows Vista to help
create this unique product line that keeps up with consumers'
performance expectations, comfort needs and style preferences with
better recharging.”
